This is not being approached as a short-cycle Roblox product. The community and the universe are built first. The game is the platform through which that universe is enacted.
The personnel exist. The creative capacity exists. The operational experience exists. The remaining advantage is timing: the chance to establish a successor identity before the vacant centre of the genre is filled by another reconstruction of the old form.
The collapse of the previous era does not prove the genre is dead. It proves the previous institutional form has ended. When an era ends, there is room for what replaces it.
